1: The EM5625 wireless modem 1

About your EM5625

Your EM5625 wireless modem allows you to do the following (subject to feature availability), without using a wireline phone or network:

•Connect to the Internet, VPN and corporate networks

•Send and receive e-mail

•Connect to a dial-up service

•Send and receive SMS messages

•Make and receive phone calls

Your EM5625 connects to wireless CDMA networks, providing data transmission speeds up to 2.4 Mbps.

To use the EM5625, you must have an account that gives you access to the Verizon Wireless VZAccessSM service.

Feature availability

The EM5625 provides a wide range of capabilities using

CDMA wireless network technology.

Some features described may not be available with your network account. For details of the services and accounts available, contact Verizon.

CDMA networks

The EM5625 provides a variety of connectivity features, depending on your account:

•BroadbandAccessSM high-speed packet data, sometimes known as 1xEV-DO, supports Internet connections with data rates up to 2.4 Mbps (downlink from the network), and 153.6 kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends on the network conditions.

•NationalAccess high-speed packet data, sometimes known as 1X, supports Internet connections with data rates up to 153.6 kbps (downlink from the network) and 76.8 kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends on the network conditions.

•Circuit switched (dial-up) data, using the earlier CDMA IS-95 specification, supports dial-up data connections at rates up to 14.4 kbps.

Rev 0.21 Dec.04						9

Online Help for VZW EM5625 NB

•Quick 2 NetSM provides a simplified way to dial into an Internet connection (using circuit switched data).

•SMS (Short Message Service) allows you to send and receive short text messages using the EM5625.

•Voice calling, including E911 (Phase I) support for emergency services.

Network account and coverage

To use the network, you require a Verizon Wireless account. The area in which you can obtain CDMA network service is called the coverage area. To obtain coverage you must:

•Be in proximity to a CDMA network, operating in a frequency band supported by the modem.

•Have an account that allows you to access that network.

You can make phone calls (subject to feature availability) wherever you have coverage and the network accepts your account.

In areas where there is CDMA coverage but no VZAccess (NationalAccess or BroadbandAccess) service, you can use the EM5625 for dial-up and Quick 2 Net connections (subject to feature availability). Where VZAccess is implemented, you can make NationalAccess or BroadbandAccess high-speed packet data connections. To determine available services, check the Connection status area icons.

With roaming service, you can use your account on networks outside of the Verizon Wireless VZAccess coverage area.

Roaming

An icon in the Connection status area of Watcher indicates roaming.

You are in a preferred roaming area. If this icon is flashing, you are in a non-preferred roaming area, and you may not be able to complete your calls.

You are within your own service provider's network.

You can configure a Service Alert to notify you when your coverage changes.

Watcher overview

Watcher for the EM5625 wireless modem is the application that allows you to manage and monitor the connection between the EM5625 and the CDMA network.

Without running Watcher, you can make a VZAccess highspeed data connection simply by launching whatever application you want to use (such as your web browser or e-mail application). Prerequisites: you must have previously enabled, in Watcher, “Always-on” for the high-speed connection, and

•(If you have enabled auto-launch:) WiFi coverage is either not available, or is available but no WiFi profiles have been set to autoconnect.

However, to make use of other features of the EM5625, you must run Watcher.

Watcher also allows you to manage and monitor connections with a WiFi network adapter.
